A TALK On ‘Community Solutions For Climate Change’ will take place on Saturday November 11 in Manor West Hotel from 9.30 – 4pm.

The event will focus on what kind of future do we want to create for Kerry and how do we create community solutions to the challenges of climate change?

It will pose the questions of how we will feed ourselves, where will we get our energy from, how will we travel around and other queries.
